Stock Photo License Agreement
A stock photo license agreement permits a buyer to use a specific image under preset tier limits while the licensor retains copyright and can license to others unless exclusive. Use this when selling single-image downloads from a personal stock library or small agency. It limits print run, seats, and sensitive uses like endorsement implied by models.
